Europa League Qualifying 27th-29th July

Hodgson is not taking any England players for their game against Rabotnicki tomorrow.

Liverpool squad: Cavalieri, Aquilani, Agger, Jovanovic, Kyrgiakos, Lucas, Wilson, Ngog, Spearing, Darby, Shelvey, Kelly, Skrtel, Eccleston, Ayala, Hansen, Gulacsi, Amoo, Dalla Valle, Ince.

I'm expecting a messy and cagey affair given it's Hodgson's first major game.

Under 2.5 - 2.0 @ Bet365
Draw-Liverpool - 4.5 @ various
Draw-Rabotnicki - 26.0 @ VC

I'll probably go with the under 2.5 closer to kick off and when I've had more time to research.

I've gone for a flutter on juventus-1 handicap to beat shamrock rovers tonight, along with maritmo with a -1 handicap to beat bray and sporting lisbon to defeat fc nordsjaelland.

The irish teams usually struggle to perform in the european competitions and there up against two very good sides tonight who i feel will have far too much quality for them.

Sporting have a very good side and have been playing very well during pre season.

3/1 odds with bwin, also got £4 free when i deposited £7.

good luck with your bets jack , but I must point out that Martimo are playing Bangor , who are a Welsh team , I do agree with the Maritimo bet as Bangor were very lucky in the last round and their manager has told his players to "go out and enjoy themselves" and has fears that the soaring temperatures will affect his players.

Looks a tricky one for Motherwell in Norway. I didn't see them in the last round but from what I read.... they sounded rather open at the back with the Icelandic side missing a few chances in both legs apparently. Aalesund play on an artificial surface too I believe? Probably gives them a bit of an edge. Just reading one of their strikers is 6ft 8 too... bloody hell.

Anyway... I'm leaning towards the narrow home win but..... I'm not sure I can take those odds. Maybe.

BBC report of Motherwell's 0-1 win in Iceland last round:

A Jamie Murphy strike saw Motherwell progress to the third qualifying round of the Europa League with a nervy win over Icelandic outfit Breidablik.
Leading 1-0 from the first leg, Well weathered early pressure from the hosts as Steindorsson, Krisjansson and Petursson all spurned chances.
